They have a wonderful minimal punk sound. It's atmospheric but with attitude, not empty. It turns out they wrote The 15th, the Fischerspooner track that I posted about here.
The photographer above has a bunch of fantastic photos on this site, as well as a show at Etherea on Ave A which runs through next week.
